I’m thinking about breaking up with my boyfriend
So me and my boyfriend have been together for about 9/10 months and it’s one of my first serious relationships.
recently I’ve been having thoughts about possibly breaking up with him. I have fairly severe depression and anxiety and he has the same but we have different viewpoints on it and how to deal with it. I feel like he’s been a bit pressuring on me recently and sometimes I feel as though he talks to and treats me like I’m a child but he’s only 2 years older. I’ve been going through a lot with my family and personal life where I lost my job and found out my mum had a brain tumour on the same day. He also gets really annoyed with me if I don’t answer during the day (we message throughout the day everyday) when he knows what I’m going through and he knows that I don’t like to be on my phone all day. I’ve even tried messaging him at the beginning of the day to say I’m going to be busy or quiet today but he just pushes. I love him but I feel like I’m just holding onto the fact that I’m finally in a relationship with an amazing guy and all my family like him and think he’s for keeps
what do I do
@chlobo1612- any partner should not make you feel like you are being treated like a child. Best of luck to you.
Sounds like he has some insecure attachment issues. It might be one thing if you didn’t set expectations but you obviously do and let him know what’s going on. He should be creating space for you while you need to breathe right now, not smothering you.
I can only say if you really like this guy have a heart to heart about how this makes you feel if you haven’t already. Could have been burned by an ex that cheater or something and easily addressed.
